Rape is an act when sexual intercourse is carried out without the consent of an indvidual and is accomplished through the use of force, violence or intimidation. Determining whether the sexual intercourse was carried out with or without consent is usually the basis for defense.

Statutory rape is any sexual act with a minor under the age of 18. Statutory rape charges are typically brought up by the parents of the victim. However, in California the state can raise charges of statutory rape.

Date rape is a forcible sexual act between people that know each other during a social engagement. The fact that the engagement was voluntary and that the parties knew each other is not a defense for this type of charge.

Spousal rape occurs when a spouse forces or intimidates the other spouse to have sex against their wishes or consent.

Penalties for rape are very severe and usually result in mandatory sex offender registration (leaving the offender with life long social limitations) and incarceration.
